Ducati says: “The increase in bottom-end torque is managed by Ducati’s Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system to considerably enhance the Diavel’s effortless ridability, while ensuring plenty of power remains on tap for high-rpm riding.” The desmo is hooked to a six-speed transmission with a slipper clutch that features a “super-light” feel at the lever.

The engine breaths through Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system with Mikuni elliptical throttle bodies and Ride-by-Wire, and massive 58mm exhaust headers the lead into a 2-1-2 system. Ducati also used advanced materials and engineering on the Diavel’s engine, which allowed service intervals to be increased to 15,000 miles. As for riding modes, the Diavel features three – Urban, which reduces power to 100 horespower and DTC to five for stop-and go traffic; Touring, which allows 162 horsepower administered at a user-friendly pace, and a level four DTC setting; and Sport, which releases all 162 horsepower with full-on throttle response, and a level 3 traction control for “riders who prefer their performance a little closer to the traction limit.”

The chassis features a Ducati Trellis frame for torsional rigidity and an aluminun single-sided swingarm. Up front, the Diavel utilizes 50mm Marzocchi forks that are fully adjustable. On the Dark and Carbon versions, these forks are DCL coated. Out back, Sachs rear suspension features a progressive pull-rod linkage from the swingarm that is also fully adjustable. Stopping the Diavel are dual 320mm discs squeezed by Brembo Monoblock four-piston calipers up front, with a single 265mm disc out back squeezed by a two-piston caliper. The brakes are enhanced with the most compact, Ducati Bosch-Brembo ABS system as original equipment,

Ducati says: “Top Brembo components combined with Bosch ABS, the special Diavel chassis configuration and Pirelli’s Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT) result in a braking performance even greater than that of the awesome Ducati Superbikes.” The Ducati Diavel rolls on 14-spoke wheels (3.5″ X 17″ front, 8″ X 17″ back), with a massive 240/45 ZR17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso II out back. As for the Diavel Carbon, it arrives with Marchesini forged and machined 9-spoke wheels (same sizes and tires as standard).

Styling is further enhanced by those huge lateral radiators on both sides of the Diavel. Speaking of these radiators, Ducati says: “The technical solution employed for keeping the frontal lines of the Diavel clean was to place two highly efficient lateral radiators on both sides of the bike.”These well-ducted units, located beneath the fuel tank, use aerodynamics to help draw air flow through the radiators and are assisted by high-flow electric fans when required. The design combines form and function to enhance the muscular shape of the bike.”
